Louis, you're from Bayern, aren't you? Anyway here both days are seen as a commemoration for the dead, the first is to commemorate the spirit, the second for the body. (Strange i know, but the catholic belief here is influenced a lot by local stories and beliefs)
I went to Berlin two years ago in April, and it was a lot more cold than here.
The Danish are the Canadians of Europe.
According to South Park.
Right, I totally forgot that episode! Well so Germans can be the Danish of the south.
Ugh, Holsteiners.
Nah, I'm from 
Baden-Wuerttemberg :D
Well, April is a cold month.
Blaat: I'm fairly sure the Holsteiners say the same thing about the Schleswigers ;) Whatever happened to "Up ewig ungedeelt"? :D
Some Germans would still be Danish if they hadn't crushed our dream of a Denmark united with Slesvig-Holstein in 1864, leaving deep and lasting scars in our national psyche. :P
Ah well, you got some parts back by gerrymandering during the 1919 referendum mandated by the Versailles treaty. Soooo... no hard feelings? ;)
Also in 1864, there was no Germany, so go blame Prussia, or Hannover or whoever that was :D
Quatsch :P
I'm visiting Denmark soon, that will also leave a deep and lasting scar to its psyche ;)
In April in my country we usally start to wear light clothes, we have like 20°-25° Celsius.
I honestly don't know what Holsteiners are, but if I search it google says that they're horses.
There's a weather "rule" in Germany "Der April, der April, der macht was er will", roughly translated "April, April, it does whatever it wants". I have seen everything from -4 to 30 degrees Celsius in April. Also April is famous for weather that changes rapidly and frequently, hence the saying.
Anyway, Danish, Germans, why we don't just be all Europeans ^^?
We have a thing like that, but for March! We say "Marzo è pazzo", translated "March is crazy", due to the climate changes, from raining to sunny, from cold to hot.
We have a similar saying.
Then again, Germans are almost like Dutch ;)
Indeed we are ;)
Americans, canadians, mexicans, why not all be americans :D
Hey guys :)
I worked lately on many dispatches and I would like you guys to read them and state your opinion or impression towards these writing pieces, since I worked hard on them (I am an aspiring writer at soul) Thanks! Glad to be here!
Americans, Canadians, Mexicans, Europeans, Africans, Asians...why don't we all just be people? The reapers (mass effect joke) won't care who we are when they return, so why should we? We're all earthlings here!
Imperial Republia what if reapers actually divided earth in continents because they want us divided :o?
Many thanks, Empire of Entako Hermitarity! I enjoy reading about your Empire, and would indeed like to propose an exchange of Ambassadors. Admittedly, your people would probably find life in Port Stilton intolerably frivolous, but they would nonetheless be most welcome - and may find something to interest them in our thriving Melvonian publishing industry.
Well, what if we kill them all except one person, preferably the man who killed our emperor, and put him in a zoo until he died (the Roman way of executing someone without doing it yourself technically so it's completely ethical). It wouldn't break any rules of any kind.... I think....
Completely ethical?
That depends on your view on ethics.
I'm forced to agree with the sheep on that. Your views on ethics are unconventional.
But since we've been talking about nations so much, today marks the 201st anniversary of the Battle of Nations at Leipzig, where the coalition army forced Napoleon to return to France, thus freeing the German states (there was no Germany at that time) from what was perceived as oppression by the French.
There's a beautiful yet scary poem written by a poet who fought in the war against Napoleon, with which I'm not going to bother you, because most of you don't speak German. But suffice it to say it was a big deal back then and it's still an important moment in our history, although many have certainly forgotten it.
It's not only roman. I don't know how to translate it, but "life prison" is still used in many countries, in fact is a punishment and a death sentence, while western penalty try to re-educate the prisoner, not punish him.
Life imprisonment is not the same as throwing someone into an arena with wild animals!
It costs less to try to get a law-abiding citizen out of them. Justice is expensive.
But yeah, back in medieval ages, oubliettes were common.
